This is currently somewhat in flux. Ask again in a couple of weeks.
(My preference is that \Rdversion specifies a minimum version needed, so
it's mostly redundant: the DESCRIPTION file could be used to say the
version of R needed, and Rd versions are going to change more slowly
than R versions. But as I said, this is in flux.)
